Chapter 1526: Like a Shadow (4K)
"We have actually been circling around here all the time?" Zhu Shiyu said in disbelief.
Hitting the wall was something that only ordinary people might encounter. As realm masters, or even mid-stage realm masters, how could they encounter such a thing?
"I don't know either." Chen Fei frowned and shook his head.
Chen Fei really didn't know, but judging from the fact that his soul had been shaking just now and the surrounding environment now, it was really possible that it had been circling around.
We flew for such a long time just now, maybe it was an illusion caused by the influence of this ancient city.
But it is obvious that the barrier within Chen Fei’s soul was not broken, which means that his soul had not been affected. How could such a situation occur?
Suddenly, Chen Fei's eyes narrowed slightly, and a black spot appeared in a corner of the soul barrier. A chaotic aura was emanating from that spot into Chen Fei's soul.
Chen Fei's heart was in turmoil. Just now, Chen Fei had not noticed this spot on the soul barrier. Maybe this spot has existed for a long time, but Chen Fei subconsciously ignored it.
The only thing that could make Chen Fei subconsciously ignore it was the influence of this ancient city.
I thought there was nothing wrong with me, but the problem was already there. No wonder I kept going around in circles and never noticed anything was wrong.
"Brother Chen, look quickly, isn't there something wrong with the number of figures in the ancient city?" Zhu Shiyu's voice sounded in Chen Fei's ears, with a hint of panic in his tone.
Chen Fei turned his head and looked towards the ancient city. The withered figures praying in the ancient city were now staring at this side.
Chen Fei narrowed his eyes slightly, because next to these withered figures, there were two figures that had definitely not appeared just now.
These two figures are very different from the original withered and dry figures, and one can clearly sense the vitality contained in them.
But these are not the key points. The key points are these two new figures. They are too familiar. No matter how you look at it, they look like projections of Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu.
The panic in Zhu Shiyu's tone just now came from here.
Facing the unknown and facing a power higher than oneself, there is actually not much difference between a Realm Master and practitioners of other levels.
The so-called calm state of mind is that everything is under control. But when things go off plan and rush towards the unknown, practitioners at the realm master level will also feel fear.
The figure in the ancient city who was very similar to Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu was having his vitality sucked out of him at this moment, and then merged into the withered figure next to him.
In a trance, Zhu Shiyu felt that his strength was madly weakening, but he couldn't feel where his strength was draining away.
"You enter my dimension first."
Chen Fei waved his hand, and the traction of Guixu Realm fell on Zhu Shiyu. Zhu Shiyu did not refuse and disappeared to the side along with the traction.
Although Zhu Shiyu felt that the Realm Lord plane might not be able to withstand the influence of this ancient city, he knew that facing this unknown force, having another Realm Lord in the middle stage might still be a burden.
Chen Fei looked at the boring figures in the ancient city and closed the connection between the space grid and the outside world.
Zhu Shiyu's projection, which had been losing vitality, paused slightly at this moment, and his vitality stopped losing. This ancient city could not lock the space grid, so naturally there was no way to talk about the influence.
The projection of Zhu Shiyu had been keeping its head down, but now that its vitality was no longer lost, it slowly raised its head and looked towards Chen Fei.
Unable to find Zhu Shiyu, the figure turned and looked at Chen Fei with a strange smile on his face.
Chen Fei remained expressionless, thinking about strategies to deal with the ancient city in front of him.
It is not advisable to directly charge into the ancient city. This ancient city can quietly pollute Chen Fei's soul barrier, and its overall strength may be above the late stage of the realm master.
Now outside the ancient city, only the soul is slightly polluted. If it rushes into the ancient city, the soul barrier may collapse in an instant.
As for self-demonization, just like when he was in the abyss, changing his own aura into the same as those withered figures in the ancient city, this method cannot be done either.
This city is not simply demonized, but it is formed after some rules of heaven and earth are distorted, which is very different from pure monsters.
Therefore, even if Chen Fei demonized himself, this ancient city would attack Chen Fei without hesitation, because the two are not in the same system, and Chen Fei is still an outsider.
Chen Fei squatted slightly, ripples appeared under his feet, and the next moment, Chen Fei disappeared from the spot.
Chen Fei used the Wind God Control to the extreme and wanted to try whether he could use this method to escape.
The violent wind whistled in his ears. After flying for a while, Chen Fei's figure couldn't help but stop, and an ancient city appeared in front of him.
Not only in front, but almost in the blink of an eye, the projection of the ancient city was everywhere around Chen Fei. This ancient city directly surrounded Chen Fei.
Moreover, compared to before, not only is there no other way to retreat, the distance between Chen Fei and the ancient city is now less than a hundred miles.
Just now, the distance was more than ten thousand miles.
Chen Fei looked at the figure in the ancient city that looked like himself. As time went by, the figure's aura became more and more similar to Chen Fei's. And even though Chen Fei used the Fengxu Sword Classic to suppress his spirit and soul, his power was still forcibly extracted.
Chen Fei had a premonition that once 30% of his origin was lost, or the figure in the ancient city became stronger, Chen Fei would be forcibly dragged into the ancient city.
Chen Fei has a resurrection mark in the space grid. This ancient city cannot find the space grid. Theoretically, Chen Fei can be resurrected in the Guixu Realm.
However, the space grid can collect Chen Fei's resurrection mark, but cannot collect Chen Fei's real body.
In other words, if Chen Fei were to be resurrected using the resurrection mark, he would appear outside the space and would be immediately discovered by Gu Cheng.
At that time, the location of the space grid fell within the ancient city. Without the supreme treasure of the space grid, Chen Fei's cultivation level could not break through the late stage of the realm master, and there was basically no possibility of him leaving the ancient city.
Either the ancient city will be destroyed by other powerful beings one day in the future, or Chen Fei may be trapped in the ancient city forever, unable to go anywhere.
Even if he had the resurrection mark, Chen Fei did not dare to resurrect in the end, and could only live in the Guixu Realm through projection.
I don’t even have a real body, I’m just a projection of nothingness. What’s the fun in living like this?
Chen Fei's eyes fluctuated slightly. He must not be dragged into the ancient city. Chen Fei must think of a way.
Chen Fei's perception swept around and then fell on the figure in the ancient city that looked like himself.
If this ancient city first uses projection to gather the practitioners, and then forcibly connects the practitioners through some method, then can it break the impasse as long as it makes the ancient city feel that it has dragged the practitioners in?
If it are those realm masters who have clones, they seem to have a greater advantage at this moment.
Although the clone is slightly different from the original, it is after all split from the same soul. By sacrificing the clone, Gu Cheng felt that his goal was achieved, and the original took that opportunity to escape directly.
Chen Fei doesn’t have a clone, but he has Night Demon Warriors.
Moreover, the Night Devil Warrior was born through a backup. Except for the physique, everything else can be said to be exactly the same. The only difference is that there is no permanent soul inside the Night Devil Warrior, so it is unknown whether the ancient city will recognize it.
While Chen Fei was thinking, the distance between the ancient city and Chen Fei shortened again. It was a hundred miles away just now, but now it was less than ten miles away.
The atmosphere of loneliness and decadence in the ancient city has completely enveloped Chen Fei at this moment. It seems that in the next moment, Chen Fei will be dragged directly into the ancient city and trapped in it forever.
A figure stood up behind Chen Fei. It was the Night Devil Soldier. The next moment, the Night Devil Soldier rushed directly towards the ancient city.
No matter what, they have to try it once, and the loss of the Night Devil Soldiers is not even a loss to Chen Fei. The most he has to do is spend time refining the essence of heaven and earth to condense the Night Devil Soldiers again.
The sudden appearance of the Night Devil Warrior caused the withered shadow that looked like Chen Fei in the ancient city to pause slightly, and as Chen Fei restrained his own aura, the Night Devil Warrior stimulated his momentum to the maximum extent.
The withered shadow in the ancient city involuntarily shifted its target from Chen Fei himself to the Night Demon Warrior.
"There is no spiritual wisdom, just following certain rules."
Seeing the changes in the withered shadow of the ancient city, Chen Fei's expression moved slightly, and then he expanded his perception to the extreme, waiting for the changes in the ancient city and the surrounding environment.
"Buzz!"
As the Night Demon Warrior stepped into the ancient city, a ripple appeared and the Night Demon Warrior appeared directly next to the withered shadow. The withered shadow instantly split in the middle and then completely wrapped up the Night Demon Warrior.
The projections of the ancient city on all sides shattered like bubbles, and the heavy burden that was forced on his heart also disappeared. Chen Fei, who had been prepared, instantly activated the Wind God Control and disappeared in front of the ancient city.
Chen Fei observed his soul barrier, especially the location where the spots appeared before, and found that the black spots there were shrinking rapidly. It was obvious that the pollution of the ancient city to Chen Fei was decreasing.
Chen Fei exhaled a breath of foul air. Facing this strangeness that was beyond his own strength, Chen Fei felt very stressed. If he was not careful, he might end up being trapped in it.
The secret realm is not a place where you can obtain natural treasures at will, nor is it a place where you can easily break through bottlenecks.
Chen Fei looked up and looked ahead, and suddenly his soul trembled slightly, and a feeling of palpitations appeared in Chen Fei's heart.
Chen Fei's footsteps could not help but pause, and his figure appeared in mid-air. Chen Fei looked around, there was a high mountain in front of him, and the heaven and earth energy rippling around was also in a normal state, nothing special.
Chen Fei looked back again and found nothing unusual.
But Chen Fei had a feeling that if he continued to move forward, great terror would befall him.
"A new dangerous place?"
Chen Fei frowned slightly, and spread the rhythm of the wind given by Fengshen Yu, sensing the abnormality in front and around. Slowly, Chen Fei gradually sensed something different, as if something was about to surge out from the high mountains in front.
"call out!"
Several sounds of breaking through the air came from a distance, and after seeing Chen Fei's figure, they actually turned over on purpose.
However, those figures stopped halfway. Chen Fei looked a little dazed. He looked up and found that they were the people from Honglian Valley.
Chen Fei had never encountered them in the abyss before, and thought that the several realm masters of the Red Lotus Valley had fallen in the abyss. Now it seems that these people may have noticed something wrong and left the abyss in advance.
"You actually got the spiritual material from the abyss?"
Sun Shijing from Honglian Valley looked at Chen Fei and Zhu Shiyu in disbelief. The surprise and envy in his eyes could not be concealed at all.
The other two mid-stage realm masters of Red Lotus Valley also looked at this scene with surprise.
"Congratulations to both of you for breaking through the bottleneck." One of the mid-stage Realm Masters bowed.
"Both of you?"
Chen Fei's brows frowned involuntarily. The scene in front of him seemed familiar. Chen Fei subconsciously turned his head to the side. Zhu Shiyu was standing there, looking at the several realm masters of Honglian Valley with some vigilance.
The Fengxu Sword Canon suddenly operated at its extreme level, and Chen Fei's soul barrier glowed with a faint light. The black spot that had shrunk to the size of a grain of rice just now had doubled in size without anyone noticing.
The black spots spread out black gas, which continuously corroded Chen Fei's soul barrier. At this moment, with the extreme operation of Fengxu Sword Canon, Chen Fei discovered it.
The feeling of trance became more and more serious, and all kinds of light and shadow changes flashed before Chen Fei's eyes. For a moment, Chen Fei could not tell where he was and what he was doing.
Chen Fei slowly closed his eyes, and suddenly, an invisible sword intent swept across Chen Fei's soul, followed by a strong black gas rippling from Chen Fei's body.
A huge gap was cut out on Chen Fei's soul barrier at this moment. Not only the black spots on the barrier, but even Chen Fei's own soul was forcibly cut off by more than 30%.
Chen Fei opened his eyes. There was no Red Lotus Valley Lord in front of him, and there was no Zhu Shiyu beside him either, because Zhu Shiyu was in the Guixu Realm at that moment.
The scene ahead was not a mountain, but the ancient city. The danger that Chen Fei had just felt was about to surge out of the mountain was from this ancient city.
Chen Fei has never really avoided this ancient city, because the pollution on the soul barrier is the ancient city's mark on Chen Fei.
Because the black spot has not been dealt with, the pursuit of the ancient city has never disappeared.
Chen Fei should have thought of it long ago that he should use the drastic measure to cut off the part of his soul that was slightly contaminated, along with the black spot.
But I don’t know if it was because of the pollution in the ancient city that prevented Chen Fei from doing this, and he always subconsciously ignored the harm of the black spots on his soul barrier.
At this moment, Chen Fei was less than a mile away from the ancient city. The reason why Chen Fei's soul was frightened just now was because if he took one more step forward, Chen Fei would fly directly into the ancient city.
When that time really comes, it will be too late to say anything.
Therefore, at the last critical moment, the restrictive Fengxu Sword Canon finally had a stress response and forcibly pulled Chen Fei back from the most dangerous place.
In the ancient city, the withered shadow was almost the same as Chen Fei. Even though the other party had swallowed the Night Demon Soldier, there was no satisfaction at this moment.
The withered shadow had raised his head at some point, and was now staring straight at Chen Fei. (End of this chapter)
